Regarding what Li Weiming said, Liu Heng believed that it would be the same in future generations.
If you want to build relationships, without a middleman, others may not pay attention to you.
"So as long as I take out 60% of the iron field, the garrison will not send troops out of the city to clear out our Hutou Village." Liu Heng leaned back on the chair, put one hand on the table, and looked at the long Li Weiming on the other side of the table.
Li Weiming shook his head slightly and said, "Sixty percent of the members are not enough."
Li Shuheng on the other side heard this and said angrily: "The 60% members are not satisfied yet, your Fan family's appetite is too big."
"No, no, no." Li Weiming waved his hand and said, "We, Fan Ji, only need 50% of the membership. The reason why we say it is not enough is because you have to give 20% to the Xu family and hand over the coke ironmaking technology."
"I can understand the Fan family asking for 50%, and I can understand the Lingqiu defense asking for 10%. Shopkeeper Li can explain why the Xu family needs 20%, and it also needs to use the coke ironmaking technology of the iron yard. This It makes me a little confused." Liu Heng showed no expression when he spoke.
Li Weiming smiled and said: "I think Mr. Liu should know something about the status of the Xu family in Lingqiu."
Liu Heng nodded.
Li Weiming continued: "With the Xu family's status in Lingqiu, and the deputy envoy of Taiyuan as their backer, there are not many two-partners in the iron farm, and there is no coke ironmaking technology. They are only two-parters in the iron farm. The Xu family I will not agree to let your Hutou Village go."
"So shopkeeper Li has already discussed it with the Xu family?" Liu Heng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"The Xu family doesn't know that I came to Hutou Village." Li Weiming said: "If Mr. Liu is willing to use the two components of the iron yard and the coke iron-making technology, I am willing to help Hutou Village and the Xu family make peace. I think Xu My family will still give me the face of Fan Ji."
"According to Shopkeeper Li's method, our iron farm in Hutou Village will only have three components left, and we will have to hand over the coke ironmaking technology." Liu Heng frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Li doesn't think this is the case. Do you want to share the meat of Hutou Village? I have no intention of giving Hutou Village a way to survive."
Li Weiming shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "How come there is no way to survive? The 30% of people in the iron field are enough for Liu Da to live a very comfortable life."
Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "If we hand over the coke iron-making technology, with the strength of the Xu family, we will soon be able to open iron furnaces all over Dongshan. By then, the three remaining members of our Hutou Village will not be enough to feed the people of Hutou Village." There are so many people up and down.”
"Then don't leave so many people on the mountain." Li Weiming said, "It is said outside that there are five to six hundred bandits in Hutou Village. Only when I came here this time did I find that what they said was true. Now Lingqiu Garrison is coming to suppress the bandits. Master Liu can keep a hundred people by his side, and leave the rest to the garrison mansion. In this way, master Liu can gain the favor of garrison master, and the garrison mansion can gain merit, and get the best of both worlds. Wouldn't it be better?"
"Asshole!" Li Shuheng couldn't help but yell.
The bandits on Hutuzhai Mountain are all old people from the bandit camp. If they are really handed over, who will really stay on the mountain in the future? Moreover, there are not five or six hundred people on the mountain, but more than a thousand, but most of them are Training at the school field in the back mountain.
Liu Heng stopped the angry Li Shuheng, turned to look at Li Weiming, and said with a smile: "The Fan family has convinced me."
"Does Master Liu and Hutou Village still have a choice?" Li Weiming smiled proudly.
Liu Heng smiled and said, "I also have an idea. Would Shopkeeper Li want to hear it?"
Li Weiming turned his ear and said, "I am all ears."
"Go back and tell those people in Lingqiu that if they dare to come to our Hutou Village to stroke the tiger's beard, then be prepared to save your life." When he spoke, Liu Heng had a smile on his face and a hint of chill in his tone.
Hearing this, Li Weiming's face sank and he said: "Master Liu, I am thinking about you. Don't be ungrateful."
Li Shuheng on the side sneered: "We at Hutou Village can't afford your Fan family's thoughts."
"You..." Li Weiming stood up, looked at Liu Heng and said, "Is this what Mr. Liu means?"
Liu Heng said indifferently: "Tell Fan Yongdou that if you want to get iron from Lingqiu in the future, you must be honest, otherwise I guarantee that Fan Ji won't be able to take out Lingqiu even if he has one or two irons."
"Okay, okay, okay." Li Weiming said "yes" three times in a row and said angrily, "Don't regret it."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the mountain temple hall, and took the two people he brought with him down the mountain.
"I really wanted to chop him with a knife just now." Li Shuheng said, "What the hell, you want to take advantage of him."
Liu Heng said with a smile: "There is no need to be angry. In fact, the people coming from the Fan family have proved that Yang Yuan's information is accurate."
Li Shuheng said with a displeased look on his face: "I'm just angry. He's just a shopkeeper of the Fan family. He looks so arrogant and wants to take away the iron field we worked so hard to build, and he also looks like he's doing your best. It's simply disgusting. "
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Let Zhao Yutu come back from Zhaojiayu. The government should send troops in these two days."
"Any news from Yang Yuan again?" Li Shuheng asked.
Liu Heng nodded and said: "Yesterday Xu Youcai gathered all the proprietors of the Dongshan Iron Works at the Yanbin Building, collected two thousand taels of silver, and sent them to the garrison mansion. I think the garrison mansion will send troops out of the city in the next two days."
Li Shuheng sighed: "These iron farm owners in Dongshan are crazy. We have never provoked them, but they helped the Xu family provide money to ask the defense government to send troops to wipe out us."
Liu Heng said with a smile: "These iron yard proprietors are not stupid. They know that the refined iron output of our iron yard's coke ironmaking is enough to price out the iron yards like theirs."
The two people were talking when Yang Yuan walked in from outside.
"The boss."
Liu Heng saw Yang Yuan and said with a smile: "You came back just in time. When Zhao Yutu comes back from Zhaojiayu, we can discuss how to meet the enemy."
Zhao Yutu stared at the plate armor in Zhaojiayu, got the letter from the mountain, and rode back to Hutou Village.
A chair was added in front of the long table in the main hall of the mountain temple, and Liu Heng sat on it.
Sitting on the left and right sides of the long table were Li Shuheng and Yang Yuan, while Chen Xunping and Zhao Yutu were sitting on the other side.
"Yang Yuan, please tell everyone about the situation first." Liu Heng looked at Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan stood up and said: "The people from the intelligence team got the news. Xu Youcai collected two thousand taels of silver and handed it to the garrison. Now the garrison is preparing to go out of the city to clear out our Hutou Village. It is estimated that the troops will be dispatched within the next two days. Now there are people from our intelligence team watching over the garrison and the main camp. As soon as troops are dispatched, the intelligence team will immediately ride fast horses to deliver the news to Hutou Village."
"What do you think?" After Yang Yuan sat down, Liu Heng looked at the other people present.
"Hit the hell." Chen Xunping was the first to say, "We have more than a thousand people in Hutou Village who stay in the mountains for training all day long. This time we are out for a real fight."
Zhao Yutu on the side frowned and said: "People will definitely die in a war. We only have more than a thousand old people from the bandit camp in Hutou Village. One of them will die. We have to consider the problem of weakening our strength."
Li Shuheng said: "We must fight, but how to fight and how to fight. With our strength, it is easy to defeat the soldiers and horses guarding the camp. What needs to be considered is how to ensure that after winning, we will not arouse the imperial court's disapproval. Note that our strength is not enough to compete with the border troops in Datong Town."
